for The Bridge Project inaugural 2009 season which pairs Tom
Stoppard's new adaptation of Chekov's The Cherry Orchard
with Shakespeare's The Winter’s Tale. This formidable,
transatlantic company and creative team will create these two new
productions for six internationally renowned theatres.
Simon Russell Beale, leads the British/American cast, playing
Lopakhin in The Cherry Orchard and Leontes in The
Winter’s Tale joined by Sinead Cusack as Madame Ranevskaya
and Paulina, Richard Easton as Firs and Old Shepherd/Time, Rebecca
Hall as Varya and Hermione, Josh Hamilton as Yasha and Polixenes,
and Ethan Hawke as Trofimov and Autolycus.
The Bridge Project is a unique series of co-productions between
The Old Vic, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and Neal Street
Productions. Each year a single British/American company will
perform a double-bill of classic works at BAM and at The Old Vic,
and make several international visits. In year one, the company
will travel to Auckland, Singapore, Madrid and Recklinghausen.
The plays ran at BAM from January-March 2009 before embarking on
an international tour from March-May taking residencies in
Singapore at DBS Arts Centre (home of the Singapore Repertory
Theatre), in Auckland at The EDGE Performing Arts Centre, in
Madrid at Teatro Español, and in Germany at Ruhrfestspiele
